Synonyms: small calorie, gram calorie, thermochemical calorie Holonyms: kilocalorie, calorie (large-calorie sense), large calorie, Calorie (capital C) < megacalorie < gigacalorie ==== Usage notes ==== Most scientific studies are now carried out using the joule (an SI unit). In nutritional contexts the term calorie refers to the kilogram calorie and the term kilocalorie refers to 1000 gram calories. Thus the two terms are equivalent. Calorie counters, such as those on fitness bikes, use the first, more modern, definition. European legislation now requires foods to be labelled with the term kilocalorie. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Anagrams === Coralie, cariole, coalier, loricae == Dutch == === Etymology === Borrowed from French calorie. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kɑloːˈri/ Hyphenation: ca‧lo‧rie Rhymes: -i === Noun === calorie f (plural calorieën, diminutive calorietje n) calorie ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Indonesian: kalori == French == === Etymology === 1845, formed from Latin calor + -ie.
